Samuel looked toward Gia."You guys should stay here for a while. I’ll be back soon, and I’ll take you to your Kingdom," he said."Take us?" They exchanged confused glances. Weren’t they supposed to be the ones taking him, not the other way around?Samuel injected more Aether qi into the sword."What energy is this? I’ve never seen anything so pure and powerful," Gilbert said in admiration. It was a pity it wasn’t a type of energy he could absorb permanently. He could only use it to tear open space for them to pass through.Gia and the others stared in shock as the space before them split apart. Samuel stepped in, and it sealed shut behind him.********Sophia and the others had decided to wait a little longer, but their patience was already running thin, knowing time was against them. Suddenly, they felt something stir behind them.Everyone turned, surprised to see Samuel standing there."You, what are you doing here? Do you also want the Zaki tribe inheritance?" Mobius asked.Samuel

Gia stood up and leapt into the air, then walked across it as if it were solid ground. In the next moment, she appeared closer to the scene, but this time kept her distance from Samuel."How did you become this powerful?" she muttered, her voice low and strained."What? You think I should stop growing stronger and wait for you to catch me and beat me up?" he replied with a smirk.Gia fell silent. At this rate, she could not afford to offend him."Fine." She lowered her head, her shoulders dipping."If you will, sir, can you please listen to me and understand our plight?" she pleaded, her fingers tightening at her sides."Alright. Go ahead." After a brief pause, Samuel gave a small nod. He was also curious why they wanted the moon shade seed so badly.Gia nodded gratefully and began explaining.They were from River Aetheris, a vast river in the western region. They had originally been subordinates of one of the most powerful mermaid kingdoms dwelling in the only ocean in this world.Bu

"I wonder what kind of difficulties Sheena would meet over there." Samuel frowned as he hurried along the road she had taken.He noticed the walls were not made of rock like the path leading to the Soulrender. Instead, they were constructed from a kind of special stone. He reached out and touched them. They were cold to the touch."This is grand, I must say. This Demon Queen really prepared the path to her inheritance in a grand way. With all these shenanigans, I hope the trial won't be too difficult," he thought as he continued forward.The road seemed to stretch endlessly. He pushed his speed to the maximum, and a few minutes later, he arrived in a large hall.There was nothing particularly strange about it at first glance, except for its extravagance. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings made from special stones, along with strange symbols etched deeply into the surface.He looked ahead and saw Sheena standing before a massive wall covered in symbols he couldn't make out

Samuel smirked.“It’s because you hit worse than a baby. Don’t blame me for that.”“Shut up!” Kelvin snapped as he dashed forward, hand reaching out to grab him again.Samuel’s eyes narrowed. The moment Kelvin closed the distance, Samuel’s body exploded into motion. He shot forward, slipping past the incoming grab with a sharp pivot, his movements precise and controlled. In the same breath, he drove his fist into Kelvin’s head with a clean, snapping impact.Kelvin reacted instantly. His elbow lashed out like a coiled spring releasing, backed by a surge of deep, violent energy that rippled through the air.The strike landed.Samuel was knocked sideways, his vision spinning as the force rattled his skull.Kelvin strode forward, a confident smile spreading across his face.“Do you still think you can keep up? Should I finish you already?”Samuel lay on the ground, silent this time. Frustration burned within him. He hated this feeling of powerlessness, especially against someone he could

Kelvin’s fist shot forward, fast and precise.Samuel twisted aside at the last possible instant, the blow grazing past him by a hair’s breadth. Kelvin did not pause. His other fist drove forward immediately, slamming into Samuel’s chest with crushing force and sending him flying.Samuel’s body smashed into the rock wall, blasting straight through it.Stone shattered. The entire wall collapsed, the space expanding violently as debris rained down.Samuel pushed himself up from the rubble and coughed out blood.“Are you alright, Master?” the Soulrender dragon soul asked, its voice tight with worry.“Yes. How is he this strong?” Samuel frowned.“That is not his real power. The grey aura around him is similar to Lord Ananias. I believe he hid his energy somewhere in the past, and this young man who claims to be him has found it,” the dragon said.“You are not sure it is him?” Samuel’s frown deepened.“I am not. It feels like him, yet not like him at the same time. I cannot tell. But one th

"I'm not a successor of any Ananias. He's not worthy," Samuel said calmly.The dragon fell silent. It had never seen anyone boast like this. "You shouldn't speak like this, Master. The Heavenly Thunder might strike you out of nowhere," it warned."Shut up," Samuel commanded.He turned his gaze toward the army of the undead."Even if I bind with you, is that enough for them to serve me instead?" he asked, frowning."Yes. You might not know this, but Lord Ananias used this sword to bind their souls while they were alive. Before he died, he performed a powerful ritual that turned them into undead. The Demon queen, surprisingly, did not stop them," the dragon explained."Hmm." Samuel nodded.Suddenly, something stirred on his hand. He glanced down. It was Nyx's tattoo.How long had it been since it last moved? He couldn't remember.The black tattoo slowly peeled away from his skin and emerged, taking form as Nyx. Samuel felt a flicker of happiness. It had been a long time."Nyx," he calle
